99 Saturn SL no overhead lights or lights on 'ding'

You still have a problem with your starter. Sounds like you missed the wires going to the solenoid which engages the bendix.
Recheck the wiring.
It could also be a bad starter from the parts store. Won't be the first time.

IT IS LOCATED ON THE LEFT END OF THE CYLINDER HEAD (DRIVERS SIDE )

The SL2 is a DOHC 1.9L and the SL1 is a SOHC 1.9L. They have different transmissions, the DOHC uses a 15 inch wheel while the SOHC has a 14 inch wheel. So when you are shopping around for another transmission you must get one from the same type of engine. Saturn auto transmissions seem to be problematic, I stuck with the manual trannys and had very good luck.

yes there is, be sure you order the correct one, dual overhead cam is usually a sl2 and a single overhead cam is a sl1.

you need to disconnect the passive restraint module

This is a common problem with the older saturns. The issue is in the key cylinder for the ignition. The way to fix it involves replacing the key cylinder, which in those cars is a total pain. It requires dismantling the steering column, drilling our the old lock, and replacing it with a new one. Problem is, it has to come from Saturn. There used to be a kit available from the dealer for about $120. I don't think it's available anymore. My wife's car has the same problem.

take fuse out

My manual shows----- code 22 is throttle position sensor, and code 83 is low engine coolant.

hey check your fusses?
